Resolution 9285, Approving or Denying Property Owner’s Appeals related to 10 the Quincy Street Reconstruction Project. 11 12 Community Development Director Sevald requested the Council consider approving or denying a 13 property owners appeal related to the Quincy Street reconstruction project. He explained there 14 were 12 driveways along Quincy Street that were non-conforming and four property owners were 15 appealing. He explained one request was made after the deadline. 16 17 Mayor Mueller asked if the Council had all received the late submittal of the request from Tanya 18 Battista. The Council confirmed they had received this information. 19 20 Mayor Mueller reviewed the addresses of the properties appealing their non-conforming driveway 21 as being 5386 Quincy Street, 5425 Quincy Street and 5453 Quincy Street. 22 23 Community Development Director Sevald stated the driveway at 5386 Quincy Street currently has 24 a zero side yard setback. He explained staff was proposing to put the driveway opening at 5 feet 25 on the east side of Quincy Street. He reported the resident would like to keep the driveway opening 26 as is. In addition, the resident had concerns about the new driveway color matching the existing 27 driveway. 28 29 Mayor Mueller asked if there was any way the City could guarantee the new driveway would 30 match the existing driveway. Community Development Director Sevald stated this would be 31 impossible because concrete changes color as it ages. 32 33 Mayor Mueller questioned if the driveway at 5386 Quincy Street was permitted. Community 34 Development Director Sevald reported the City had no permit on record, but noted the City had 35 installed the curb and gutter in the 1980’s. 36 37 Community Development Director Sevald discussed the appeal from the property owners at 5425 38 Quincy Street and 5433 Quincy Street. He explained these two properties shared the same 39 driveway opening and have a zero foot setback. He noted the property at 5433 Quincy Street 40 received a variance to allow this. He reported the City would be installing the driveway per what 41 the variance allows. He indicated because the property owner at 5425 Quincy Street does not have 42 a variance staff was recommending the driveway entrance on this property have a five foot setback. 43 He commented the property owner was requesting the driveway be installed at zero feet as well as 44 creating a bump between the two properties. 45 46
